Greensboro outlines parking concessions for Elm Street closure, including resident access to Green Street deck
Summary
City staff said the Elm Street pilot project boundary was shifted north to Bain Street to reduce parking impacts and that staff are developing a system to allow some residents free parking in the Green Street deck during the roughly 90-day closure; the city also said weekend parking will be free in downtown parking decks during the first month.
An agency official said recent adjustments to the Elm Street pilot include "moving the closure zone on the south end up to the north edge of Bain Street to address critical parking needs." The official said the change was made specifically to preserve parking near the southern edge of the project.
The official added the city is working on "a system to allow residents in the 200 to have some free parking in the Green Street deck during the 90 day closure." The transcript records the phrase "the 200" but does not clarify whether that refers to the 200 block, a building number range, or another designation; the city did not specify eligibility details in the recorded remarks. The official also said that all parking in the Green Street and "February 1 place" decks will be free on weekends during the first month of the program.
